Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the normal single-storey limits (up to 4 m at the rear). Welsh building regulations also limit glazing and heat loss, so glass-heavy designs need calculations.
The planning position for a specific Ebbw Vale address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
What we take care of
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.
Working in Ebbw Vale
Our survey diary covers Ebbw Vale, including NP22, NP23. We also work in nearby Pontypool (9 miles), Abergavenny (9 miles), Cwmbran (12 miles), Newport, Gwent (16 miles).
For homes towards Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil is around 8 miles away. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about an orangery extension in Ebbw Vale
Will my neighbours in Ebbw Vale be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Ebbw Vale?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Ebbw Vale?
Yes. We cover Ebbw Vale and the surrounding parts of Gwent. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,230 to £4,180 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £41,500 to £52,500 in Ebbw Vale.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
